Fraser explains: “The light is effectively the byproduct of bounce light [that comes in] through a shaft. It’s not direct, harsh sunlight.”
Fraser also backlit the actors during the exterior moments, in an effort to avoid “panda eyes” — dark eye sockets caused by bright, contrasty sunlight. “We shot in Jordan and Abu Dhabi,” he says. “It’s not hard for the sun to look super harsh, so trying to find that balance and stay cinematic was still a challenge to ensure the shots weren’t badly lit.”During original test shots, Fraser and Villeneuve shot on 35mm film, IMAX film and on digital.
